The Type 90 Ship-to-Ship Missile (90式艦対艦誘導弾, SSM-1B) is a ship-launched
anti-ship missile developed by Japan's
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries that entered service in 1990.
It is a naval version of the truck-launched
Type 88 (SSM-1) missile, which in turn was developed from the air-launched
Type 80 (ASM-1) missile. The
Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force bought 384 of the missiles
which it fitted to its
''Akizuki'',
''Takanami'',
Hayabusa, and
''Murasame''-class ships. With a range of , high subsonic speed and warhead, the Type 90 is similar to the US's RGM-84
Harpoon missile, and is replacing Harpoon on Japanese ships.
